Episcopalians reject ban on gay bishops
 
Article here

Quote:
Anglican leaders, angered by the 2003 consecration of an openly gay Episcopal bishop, had asked the Episcopalians pass a moratorium — at least for now — on homosexuals leading dioceses.

But in a complex balloting system, a majority of the Episcopal House of Deputies voted against a measure that would have urged dioceses to refrain from electing homosexuals to lead them. Conservatives complained that the measure stopped short of a moratorium, but supporters argued it would have set a moral standard for the church and would have signaled that the American denomination understood the concerns of Anglican leaders.
Slowly religion moves into the 21st centrury.

Whenever I see the word "Episcopallian", I start singing "Picture Pages" in my head.

I like being Episcopalian, we also just elected the first woman Bishop earlier this week.

Amazingly enough, I don't know that song - and I've never been more thankful.

You would have had to watch Captain Kangaroo back in the late seventies (and however long beyond that) to remember it. You are really fortunate not to know. (The captain hosted these for a while, then Bill Cosby took over at some point - click here if you dare!

Back on topic - it looks like the Presbyterians are hopping on this bus too -

Presbyterians open door to gay clergy

I think that's cool.

I don't know much about the Episcopalian Church. Can someone enlighten me? Like how do Episcopalians differ from Presbyterians, Unitarians etc? All I know about the Epsicopalian Church is what I've read about/around Bishop V. Gene Robinson.
